(Kimball, 1969) A Grizzly Flats Railroad letter signed by Disney Legend Ward Kimball. The March 21, 1969 letter invites Lois Boardman and Gwenda Davis of the Pasadena Art Museum to hold Wednesday evening tours of Grizzly Flats Railroad. Ward circled “Sincerely Yours” from a list of prospective valedictions, signed the letter, and stamped it with a moon stamp that reads “Thanks.” Grizzly Flats Railroad, Ward’s personal railroad, was the first full-size backyard railroad in the country and helped Walt Disney reignite his love of trains, which led to the creation of the Disneyland Railroad. Measuring 8.5” x 11”, the letter displays in very good condition with folds from mailing, spotting, creases, edge wear, and discoloration from age.
